When I try to access swat with "localhost:901/" I get the following error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- sh: /usr/bin/lpstat: No such file or directory HTTP/1.0 401 Authorization Required WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="SWAT" Connection: close Content-Type: text/html 401 Authorization Required You must be authenticated to use this service ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- The thing I am wondering about is the reference to "/usr/bin/lpstat". My linux distribution (Redhat 6.0 and samba 2.0.3) does not have the lpstat command. Is this the problem or is it the authentication issue. I have the swat lines in services and in inetd.conf. I searched the archives but found nothing. Thanks. LaRoy McCann Electrical Engineering Manager Roach Conveyors Hwy 463 N.

Answer: If the command that samba runs to find the printers is broken it will break SWAT. You may need to edit smb.conf by hand to get back into SWAT. I presume that Linux defaults to "bsd" and "printcap name = /etc/printcap" entry. So either remove "printcap name = lpstat" or change it and try again. michaelj Michael James _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ v +61 2 6279 8318 Network Programmer _/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ Coombs Computing _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ f +61 2 6257 1893 Australian _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ National _/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ michael.james University _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ @anu.edu.au
